10 RINSE OPTION BUTTON Pressing the Rinse Option button to choose the rinse type for your wash load. For most washes the machine automatically selects Regular rinse for you. There are four rinses to choose from Extra, Regular, Fast and Eco. Extra rinse, the machine fills twice, giving you two deep rinses. Regular rinse, the machine fills once, giving you one regular rinse. Fast Rinse, Fast rinse uses less time then Eco rinse by performing only 3 Eco sprays but the amount of water in each spray is increased. Eco rinse, is a spray rinse giving you maximum water saving. After cycle has finished, You must drain the water from the washing tub by pressing Start/Pause button to continue the cycle. How does Eco Rinse work? When Eco rinse is used, rinse water is sprayed into the washbowl in pulses. After each pulse the washbowl will spin to remove detergent laden water from the clothes. The machine will go through a series of maximum six pulses spray and short spin cycles in this manner, depending on program selection, followed by a final long spin that removes the water from the clothes to complete the full wash program. NOTE: Compare this with Regular rinse where much more water is used. Regular rinse, water enters the machine filling up to the wash water level selected. The washer agitates and finally empties the rinse water through the drain hose. Extra rinse, this is special option for those people who suffer from allergies, this extra rinse will provide two Regular rinses to ensure all detergent residue has been removed. Eco Rinse and Fast Rinse CANNOT be selected with Bedding program. We strongly recommend you use Eco rinse for your washes whenever you can. There is considerable saving of water when Eco is used instead of Regular or Extra to rinse clothes. Eco and Fast rinse is not designed to be used with fabric softener. Select Regular or Extra rinse if you are going to use fabric softener. Regular rinse ensures the fabric softener is correctly dispensed and thoroughly removed from your clothes during rinsing. Daily 45 program rinse is fixed with Regular rinse only Quick20 program rinse is fixed with Fast rinse only

14 14 4. WASHING INSTRUCTIONS These Washing Instructions are of a general nature and you should get good wash results by following them. However, due to the variables of fabric types, soil levels, detergent types and available program settings you may find some combinations of these which do not always result in the perfect wash. If for example you see residuals of detergent or soils on some items, please read the section Residues on washed items paragraph. Over time you will learn what is the best set-up of programs, detergent and load sorting for different load types and soils. 4.1 SORT YOUR WASHING INTO SEPARATE WASH LOADS Lint collectors - Corduroy - Synthetics - Permanent press fabrics Lint producers - Towels - Nappies - Chenille/ Candlewick NOTE: Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers. Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their whiteness in the wash. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time. IMPORTANT! Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins). Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Each load of washing should contain clothing which needs the same washing conditions. For example, you should not wash delicate clothes with very dirty work clothes. Colour fast and non-colourfast fabrics should be separated. Knowing the type of fabrics you have and how dirty they are will help when you make selections from the wash program options. Some fabrics are lint collectors and can pick up lint, dirt and colour from other fabrics which are lint producers. Some examples are listed below: Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing. Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste. Treat curtains with special care.

15 Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net. PRE-TREATMENT SPRAYS AND STAIN REMOVERS WARNING! Pre-treatment sprays and stain remover can damage plastic components on your washing machine. If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothing well away from your washing machine. 4.3 DETERGENT Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment. Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature. The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling. Don t use the wrong type of detergent. You must use a low sudsing detergent designed for front load washing machines or high efficiency top loaders, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders and High Efficiency Top Loaders or detergents labelled Matic. Don t use soap-based products in your washing machine. Don t use too much detergent. This can result in excessive suds that can cause low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading the motor during spin stages of the wash program. Don t use too little detergent because you will get a poor wash. If you think you need more, increase dosages by only small amounts to avoid excessive suds. Quantity of detergent to be used The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used. Water hardness is classified in so-called degrees of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. Follow the product manufacturers instructions on quantities to use. Not enough washing powder causes: the washload to turn grey, greasy clothes. Too much washing powder causes: sudsing, reduced washing effect, inadequate rinsing. Use less detergent if: you are washing a small load, the laundry is lightly soiled, large amounts of foam form during washing.

16 16 5. DAILY USE 5.1 STARTING YOUR WASH- ING MACHINE 1. Connect the mains plug to the mains socket. 2. Turn the water tap on. 5.2 LOAD THE WASHING MACHINE When loading the clothes into your washing machine, there are four things to remember: 4. The load should contain only three or four large items, for example sheets. The rest of the load should be small items. A mixed load of large and small items will wash cleaner than a load of all large items. 5.3 ADD THE DETERGENT 1. Measure the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent by following the recommendations on the package. 2. Mix detergent in one litre of hot or warm water. 3. Add the pre-mixed detergent to the wash load. move around agitator Clothes must be loaded evenly around the agitator. For best results load small items first, followed by large items. For example, a typical load should be loaded using the following sequence: handkerchiefs, wash cloths, undershorts, pillow cases, T-shirts, business shirts, tablecloths, sheets, bath towels. Clothes must not be wrapped around the agitator. The washing machine must not be overloaded. Clothes must be able to move during wash. Don t do these things: Using too little detergent will give you a poor wash result. Using excessive detergent will create too much suds and may cause overloading of the motor during the spin stage of the wash cycle. To avoid excessive suds, reduce the amount of detergent you use. It is best to use detergent labelled low sudsing. Good quality, front load detergent will perform well in this machine. Use soap based products in your washing machine.

17 ADD FABRIC SOFTENER FOR SWT6055TMWA SWT6555TMWA FOR SWT7055LMWA Before adding softener to the dispenser, make sure the siphon cap is pushed firmly down onto the spigot in the drawer Measure the correct amount of fabric softener by following the recommendations on the package. Mix softener with an equal amount of warm water but only mix enough to fill to the line marked inside the cup. The softener cup holds 75ml. Pour the mixed softener into the cup in the top of the agitator. Do not overfill the cup. Do not spill fabric softener on the clothes as it may stain them. If you are going to use fabric softener, you must select the Regular rinse option, ie deselect the ECO RINSEoption. NOTE: You do not have to use fabric softener, your washing machine will wash the clothes perfectly well without it. The softener will not siphon out if the cap is incorrectly fitted, is missing or blocked with residue. You are now ready to add fabric softener. Measure the correct amount as recommended on the softener package into a cup and then pour it into the softener compartment of the dispenser drawer. Caution: Do not overfill the fabric softener dispenser. siphon cap pushed down Overfilling and then siphoning out too early can cause softener and detergent to mix resulting in staining problems. The softener dispenser holds in the drawer when filled up to the MAX marker. Any level lower than MAX will function correctly. Caution: Only for fabric softener. Do not add detergent in this compartment. MAX - Do not fill above this height Push down siphon to complete guide siphon cap Siphon Guide add fabric softener

18 ADDING BLEACH Bleaching of clothes can help to remove stains, heavy soiling and to kill bacteria. Oxygen Type This is generally a powder type bleach. Mix the required quantity with water and pour down the bleach hole in the top panel during the fill when there is some water in the washbowl. This type of bleach should not be mixed with detergent. Mix the bleach with water as per the instructions on the container. How to soak with bleach, proceed as follows: Chlorine Type 1. Turn Program Selector to a Regular Wash position. 2. Press the Start/Pause button to commence water fill. 3. fill some of water before pour bleach solution Pour the bleach solution down the hole in the top panel during fill when there is some water in the wash bowl. Allow the machine to agitate for a few minutes, then let it stand for the required time by pressing Start/Pause button to pause the machine. When soaking bleach reached to the required time, turn Program Selector to Drain+Spin position and press the Start/Pause button to empty the wash bowl. 5.6 SETTING A PROGRAM 1. Turn the program selector to the required program. - Your washing machine is now in STAND-BY-MODE and ready to wash your clothes. - The relevant light will light up. - The buzzer will sound. - The selector dial can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise. - Once you selected a program, the program selected will stay at that position for the whole of the cycle. - The display shows the program duration. If the settings shown on the control panel are what you want to use, press the Start/Pause button to start your wash. 2. If you want your laundry to be washed with functions different from the one proposed by the machine, press Temperature, Water Level, Soak Time and Rinse Option buttons. NOTE: Different functions can be combined which is dependent on the program selected. When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights come on. 3. If you want to define the end of the washing program, press the Delay End button repeatedly to choose your machine end time.

19 STARTING A PROGRAM To start a program, press the Start/Pause button, a default program duration will be displayed on the screen. NOTE When you select the Drain+Spin program, there will be a delay of at least 2 minutes before the washing machine starts to spin. This delay is a pump out (Drain) period to ensure the bowl is empty of water, which is necessary before spin commences. Even though you may have only put wet clothes into an empty bowl, the delay before spin will still occur to be safe and to protect your washing machine. 5.8 CHANGING A PROGRAM You can turn the Program Selector Knob to a new program position at any time. If you do move the Program Selector Knob the effect will be different depending on the status of the machine at the time you do this, as follows: When the machine is running, moving the Knob to a new position will result in the machine continuing the wash and the display will show and flashing with 3 consecutive short beeps to remind you that this option is not allowed. 5.9 INTERRUPTION OF A PROGRAM If you have started your wash and you wish to stop it for some reason, press the Start/Pause button to enter PAUSE mode. Time digits and colon LEDs blink. Press the Start/Pause again. The program will continue AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM The appliance stops automatically.

20 20 6. CARING FOR YOUR WASHING MACHINE Your washing machine will give you long and trouble-free service, if you follow the instructions in this section. These instructions show you how to care for your washing machine. 2. Unclip the filter bag from the column. 6.1 WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED YOUR WASHING Turn the Program Selector knob to the position Off. Switch off the electricity at the power point. Turn off the water taps. This will extend the life of the inlet hoses. Leave lid open for a while. This allows time for moisture inside the washing machine to evaporate and for any odours to disperse. 6.2 CLEANING THE LINT FILTER Lint is a collection of threads and fluff which comes off your clothes during washing. Your washing machine collects this lint in the lint filter. It is important to clean out this lint filter preferably after each wash. How to clean the lint filter: SWT6055TMWA/SWT6555TMWA 1. Remove the softener dispenser cup and filter column from the centre of the agitator Squeeze tabs together and push out. Turn the bag inside out and remove the lint. Wash the filter bag and dispenser cup in hot water. Reassemble the filter to the column and place it back in the centre of the agitator.

21 CLEANING THE DISPENSER (SWT7055LMWA) The dispenser needs to be cleaned regularly, preferably after each wash. Inspect the dispenser after each wash to see if there is any residue of detergent. To do this proceed as follows: Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops. Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it from the runners. Clean the dispenser drawer with hot water and a brush, eg. an old toothbrush. Dry the drawer. Before replacing the dispenser back in its recess, clean the inside of the drawer with an old toothbrush. Put the dispenser back into its runners and close the drawer. 6.4 CLEANING YOUR WASHING MACHINE To clean the inside and outside of your washing machine you should: 1.Wipe the surface with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. 2.Wipe dry with a soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Never use solvents, aerosol cleaners, spray pack cleaners, glass, cleaners, metal polishes, caustic materials, scourers or general household cleaners on or near top panel and lid, control panel or other parts of your washing machine.

22 CLEANING STAINS IN THE WASHBOWL Stains in the wash bowl can be caused by: metal objects such as bobby pins, dressmaking pins and nails; salt; body oils and grease from very dirty or sweaty clothes being deposited around the top of the washbowl; excessive foam during wash if incorrect or too much detergent is used. IMPORTANT: 6.6 AVOIDING BUILD UP OF UNDISSOLVED DETERGENTS If you only wash with cold water, undissolved detergent and body oils will build up in the washing machine. This build-up can cause spotting on your clothes. To avoid this build-up : do not use too much fabric softener with cold water; select a hot water wash at least once a month; always dissolve the detergent in one litre of warm water. Check all pockets before loading clothes into your washing machine. Don t leave wet clothing (especially swimwear) in the bowl for too long before you wash it. How To Clean the Stainless Steel Wash Bowl : Wipe with a cleaning product which is marked suitable for stainless steel. Oily deposits can be removed by wiping surfaces with a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. IMPORTANT: Never use bleach cleaners or steel wool to clean the stainless steel washbowl.

23 23 7. HELPFUL HINTS IN DEALING WITH WASHING PROBLEMS 7.1 RESIDUES ON WASHED ITEMS Some detergents have ingredients which do not fully dissolve and as a consequence, may leave white residue or particles evident on the surface of darker clothes in the finished wash load. Similarly some soils may not dissolve fully, resulting in residue evident on lighter coloured clothes. If you are experiencing residue on some clothes, the following tips will help: Check that you are using frontload type detergent to minimise over-sudsing. You may find different brands of detergent give better results. Liquid detergent may be better than powder in your situation. Pre-mix the detergent thoroughly in warm or hot water to improve the dissolving. Reduce detergent dosage to between a 1/2 and 2/3 of the manufacturer s standard recommendation to avoid over concentration (the lower water usage requires lower detergent usage.) Some residue maybe re-deposited lint, so be careful not to have lint-producing items in a load which has darker clothes. Select deep rinse and not eco rinse to help flush more particles away. Reduce the clothes load size per wash to give more freedom for the clothes to move around in the wash bowl. Use another program as below, which has been designed to minimise residual particles (they are in order of increasing benefit and will help you choose the best program for your wash load.) The Colours Program The Heavy Duty Program 7.2 STAINED CLOTHES - HINTS FOR REMOVING STAINS The guide to stain removal on page 24 may assist you in stain removal. Treat all stains as soon as possible. The longer you leave a stain the harder it will be to remove. Try soakers and stain removers first. If you use pre-treatment sprays or stain removers, apply them to the clothes items in a well ventilated area away from your washing machine. Avoid the use of hot water on stains as hot water will set stains. Use light strokes and don t rub the stain remover into the fabric. If you use a chlorine bleach, follow the instructions on the bottle and dilute it before putting it on clothing. Test coloured fabrics on an inside seam for colour fastness before using any stain removers or bleaches. Test synthetic fabric on an inside seam before using any chemicals or bleaches. NOTE: Chemicals referred to for stain removal are available from your local supermarket, hardware store or the chemist.

24 24 WARNING! Pre-treatment sprays and stain removers can damage plastic components on your washing machine. CAUTION! Do no use dry cleaning fluids or solvents near your washing machine. These fluids will damage your washing machine and may cause an explosion. 7.3 YELLOWING OR GREYING CLOTHES Problem Possible causes What to do Greyness Yellowing Incorrect wash times and using insufficient detergent which can cause redepositing of detergent on clothes. Using incorrect type or too much detergent can cause poor rinsing and poor spin performance. Mixing whites with very dirty clothes, eg work clothes. Using soap flakes instead of laundry detergent. A build-up of oils in clothes that come into close contact with the skin, eg underwear, T-shirts. Ageing of clothes. Iron deposits in the wash water. Use of chlorine bleaches on fabrics with resin finishes. Incorrect drying. Incorrect water temperatures ie. too hot or too cold. 1.

Re-sort load, then re-wash using program selections suitable for the fabric using hot or warm water. 3. If the water is very dirty or very sudsy, repeat 2 above reducing the amount of detergent you use. 1. Re-sort load, then re-wash using wash program selections suitable for the fabric using hot or warm water. 2.
